Ever since I saw a patchwork in one of the fashion magazines (or perhaps it was more of a diy sewing magazine) when I was a kid I wanted to make a quilt. Only recently I have learned the ins and outs of this hugely practical craft.
I find it fabulous that it has survived so many trends and fashions throughout years (centuries even) and remains so popular. It's a greatly rewarding hobby and I love how a quilt or a table runner becomes a fantastic family heirloom.
So here are a couple of pics of my newest quilt:
The pattern - Summer in the Park - is really simple and quick to complete. Although I have to admit using a quilting ruler and a rotary cutter with this pattern makes it much easier to piece the blocks without becoming frustrated about angles.
And I have to mention that this quilt would not have happened if it wasn't for the great tutorials from the Missouri Star Quilt Company and lovely Jenny Doan.
Here's the link for the video:
